A very remarkable species of the extensive leafless group of 
Australian Acacie. The Phyllodia resemble branches or 
spines, hooked at the point. In the axils of these are seen 
Ovate scaly buds ; from them the flowers proceed, and the scales 
fall away as the flowers expand. The anthers are yellow, the 
humerous filaments deep tawny.
